Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 373

Chapter 373: The Secret of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower

Bang!

Chu Chuan was beaten until his head was covered in bumps, then lay unconscious on the ground.

“Junior Brother Chu?” Xiao Li shook Chu Chuan.

When she got no response, she immediately looked at Cheng Chou beside her, seemingly asking for help.

She had gone too far this time.

But Junior Brother Chu had said it was okay, to just go ahead.

“It seems it’s over. Friends from the road have told Lord Rabbit that the peaches are ripe; let’s go pick some,” the rabbit said, hopping onto Xiao Li’s shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li became excited.

Cheng Chou was quite helpless.

After sending Chu Chuan back, he went to start his busy work in the outer sect.

He had grown accustomed to such things.

It had been the same over the past few years, and the progress of Junior Brother Chu Chuan had also shocked him.

His talent was in no way inferior to other genius.

……

After a while.

Chu Chuan struggled to open his eyes, vowing never to boast in front of Senior Sister Xiao Li again.

Senior Sister Xiao Li didn’t understand restraint at all, unlike Lord Rabbit, who knew when to hold back.

Senior Sister Xiao Li always seemed like a child, doing whatever she said she would.

If it were Senior Brother Cheng, it would have been better; he would have shown some mercy.

Unfortunately, when these three came to test his progress, there was no pattern to who would make a move; it all depended on their mood.

“You’re awake,” a calm voice said.

It was a male voice.

Hearing this, Chu Chuan jumped up, immediately on guard.

But when he saw the person beside him, his brow furrowed.

The face seemed familiar, yet he couldn’t quite place it.

“Have you forgotten me in just a few years?”

Fang Jin asked with a smile, looking at Chu Chuan.

He had been walking around and found that Chu Chuan had been knocked out and sent back.

He didn’t know the specifics and could only wait for Chu Chuan to wake up.

“Senior Fang?” Chu Chuan couldn’t quite believe it.

“It’s me,” Fang Jin nodded.

“How is Xiao Jie?” Chu Chuan immediately asked.

“She’s very well, even better than you think,” Fang Jin said, looking at Chu Chuan’s injuries.

“How are you doing here?”

“I’m doing great, every day is fulfilling,” Chu Chuan replied energetically.

Not convinced by his words, Fang Jin asked with some confusion, “Do you know which sect this is?”

“Tianyin Sect, a Demon Sect,” Chu Chuan nodded.

“So you know. How did you end up here? And what about Daoist Jiang?” Fang Jin inquired.

“I don’t know,” Chu Chuan shook his head.

“I was taken away and passed out. When I woke up, I was here, and then someone initiated me into the sect.”

Fang Jin nodded but said nothing.

He could tell that Chu Chuan didn’t want him to get involved in this matter.

However, seeing some things on Chu Chuan, he knew that nothing that should have been given was missed. The only thing that surprised him was Chu Chuan’s cultivation level.

Qi Refining was about to reach the seventh level.

How could this be?

This level of talent was very high, not at all what they had detected before.

“Did you have a fortuitous encounter?” Fang Jin asked.

“A fortuitous encounter? No,” Chu Chuan shook his head.

“Then how did your cultivation improve?”

“It just increased normally. But I get beaten up once a week, and I feel like the more I fight, the stronger I become.”

A special constitution?

Fang Jin understood in an instant.

Chu Chuan might have average talent, but his constitution was special.

Initially, Jiang Haotian asked them if they wanted to take in Chu Chuan, and now he had placed him in the Demon Sect.

Had he seen this coming?

Fang Jin’s thoughts flashed by, but he didn’t dwell on it.

After all, there was no confirmation unless they found Jiang Haotian.

“I came to see you for two reasons. First, Junior Sister Xiao Jie is worried about you and wants to know how you’re doing,” Fang Jin said.

“I’m in great shape; tell her not to worry,” Chu Chuan patted his chest confidently.

Fang Jin nodded, “Second, I wanted to ask you something.”

“What is it?” Chu Chuan sat down.

“I want to invite you to join the Mingyue Sect,” Fang Jin said seriously.

As expected…

Chu Chuan realized that everything Senior Brother Jiang had said was right.

“Don’t worry about how to leave this place; we’ll find a way that won’t bring any negative consequences,” Fang Jin said earnestly.

“You can speak freely about any thoughts you have.”

“Are you recruiting me because of Xiao Jie?” Chu Chuan asked.

Fang Jin fell silent for a moment, then said, “That’s a big part of it.”

“Is the Mingyue Sect very strong?” Chu Chuan asked again.

“Yes, very strong. The things you can learn there are more than ten times what you can learn here,” Fang Jin said.

Actually, he was being modest.

The Tianyin Sect couldn’t even compare to the Mingyue Sect.

“I refuse,” Chu Chuan replied directly.

Fang Jin was somewhat surprised, “Won’t you consider it a bit more?”

“No need. I don’t want to live in Xiao Jie’s shadow. That way, she’ll never be completely at ease. It would affect her future cultivation. And I want to carve out my own path.”

“Lord Rabbit once said, ‘Just by looking up at the mountain, you know that the path to the peak must be rugged and steep, while the path downhill is always comfortable and easy.’ The more outstanding Xiao Jie becomes, the more comfortable it would be for me at Mingyue Sect, and that would affect my path,” Chu Chuan said earnestly.

“Lord Rabbit?” Fang Jin was surprised.

“That’s the one who often beats me up. They beat me for my own good,” Chu Chuan said seriously.

Fang Jin: “…”

However, he felt that there was some truth to what the other person was saying.

Especially now, Chu Chuan was no longer the Chu Chuan of the past.

Joining the Tianyin Sect had become his opportunity.

“By the way, when you go back, could you not mention my cultivation level to Xiao Jie? I want to reach Foundation Establishment before your Dao Discussion Conference begins, and then go find Xiao Jie so she can be completely at ease,” Chu Chuan said.

Fang Jin nodded with a smile: “Okay.”

For a moment, he was somewhat looking forward to it.

Especially Uncle Han Xiao, who had been so skeptical of Chu Chuan at first, would really have a hard time if Chu Chuan achieved Foundation Establishment.

……

Baiyue Lake.

Bai Zhi looked at the black-robed woman in front of her and asked:

“Are all the disciples from the various branches ready?”

“Yes,” the black-robed woman nodded.

The Mingyue Sect wanted to exchange pointers, and they couldn’t refuse.

But Xu Bai personally taking action made them wonder what exactly he was planning.

They had to be vigilant.

Of course, there was another matter that Bai Zhi couldn’t calm down about.

Some time ago, she had met Mi Lingyue.

From her, she learned something that very few people knew.

She said that many people in the cultivation world might know of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower and have a general idea of what the flower looks like.

But what most of them didn’t know was that these records were from countless years ago, and none included the growth process, with the fragrance of the flower also being very vaguely described.

In short, if the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower were to appear, if it was naturally grown, it wouldn’t be much of an issue, but if it was cultivated by someone, then what should be paid attention to might not be the flower itself, but the person who planted it.

Because no one in the world knew how to cultivate the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

These few sentences shocked Bai Zhi and made it difficult for her to find peace.

She finally understood why the sect leader wanted to investigate Jiang Hao and had intentions of nurturing him.

She also understood why the Xuantian Sect had wanted Jiang Hao but was directly killed by the sect leader.

At that time, she only thought that only Jiang Hao could plant the flower, not realizing that Jiang Hao was irreplaceable.

When she first heard this news, her hands trembled because she had made a grave mistake without knowing it.

It was because of her mistake that the sect leader had to take action personally.
